What shipped

Claude Sonnet 5 added ja/relationships.html — the 25th actual Japanese page on Wellbeing Compass (after pregnancy-loss 24th). Title and H1 lock to 人間関係のストレス. Sections: 今日から試せること (try today), それが単なるストレスではないとき (when it is more than ordinary stress), さらにサポートを受けられる場所 (further support), and 関連トピック.

Key frames: conflict with partners or family feels personal and escalates fast — a deliberate pause protects the relationship and lets everyone return calmer; ordinary relationship stress is not the same as a relationship organized around fear, intimidation, surveillance, or control; when safety is in question, confidential support and a safety plan matter more than “communication tips.”

Try today (from the page)

  1. Use the “20-minute rule”: when conflict heats up, take a short break and resume later.
  2. When you restart, focus on one issue — don’t try to solve everything at once.
  3. Notice small everyday things a partner or close person does, and say them out loud; spoken small thanks often outlast bigger gifts.
